Intuitive Connections All Day

Intuition is prevalent in almost everything we do.  If you ride a motorcycle with another person, you have to lean together.  It’s the same with slow dancing.  You lean together and foresee the other person’s movement without the use of your eyes.  You become one entity. 

When I give speeches, I make a loose plan.  A firm one can’t work.  One audience laughs every few sentences while another acts intense and quiet.  I have to watch and feel, then connect and adapt. 

Musicians rely heavily on intuition.  We aren’t machines that keep a steady rhythm.  We dip and weave, slow down and rise up.  With one musician, I lead.  With another, I follow.  We don’t discuss it in advance.  Soon after we start, we just know and it falls into place.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, she loved to move.  Elbows jutted as she prodded my insides.  I thought at the time I wouldn’t know her until I saw her face, but in retrospect I did know her.  She rested, then moved fast when she was awake, same as she does now at 31.   My son was quiet in my womb.  Today at 24 he likes to move slowly and his body stays calm.

We connect all day.  Even alone, we connect with our own body and mind.  We discern what’s right without a map.  We feel our lives.  We know.  Feeling becomes knowing.
